The tallied voting results appeared on the screen in front of the conference room.
“Excluding abstentions, the number of opposing votes is 5,538,490.”
As the chairman continued speaking, the tension weighed even more heavily on the people present.
“With more than two-thirds of the total attending shareholders in favor, it has been decided that Jae Ha will take over the management rights.”
It was resolved.
Even without reading the numbers, it was clear at a glance that the blue bars were overwhelmingly ahead.
I caught Ji Han’s eyes, his face pale with defeat.
Seeing his face stained with defeat sent chills running through my entire body from head to toe.
“I hereby announce that the temporary professional management system proposed by CEO Jae Ha has been approved at the emergency shareholders’ meeting.”
And finally, I smiled a victorious smile.
It was only after the shareholders’ meeting, which lasted from morning until late afternoon, that I could leave the conference room.
After bidding a lengthy farewell to the shareholders, I left the W Group building.
“Are you going home?”
“Yes, I plan to.”
“Do you want a ride? We have things to talk about… I’ll take you.”
As I was about to get into Jae Ha’s car, which he offered to drive me home in, Ji Han spoke up.
“What are you doing?”
“Talk to me.”
Ji Han, who seemed to be heading straight for Vice Chairman Kim Young Min, grabbed my wrist.
The moment he closed the half-open car door I was about to get into, Jae Ha blocked his way.
“What do you think you’re doing?”
“It’s our business. Don’t worry about it, bro.”
Since it was time to face Ji Han once and for all, I bowed my head to Jae Ha, who was trying to hold me back.
I spoke to him, who was still looking at me with worried eyes.
“It’s alright. You go ahead.”
With a displeased expression, Jae Ha alternated his gaze between Ji Han and me before reluctantly getting into the driver’s seat.
“Seo Ji Han, if you have something to say, say it now.”
“You want me to say it here?”
He scanned the spacious underground parking lot and incredulously retorted to me.
“Yes, right here.”
Perhaps my composed gaze provoked his nerves. Ji Han, who had been leaning against the car door, clenched his fist.
He roughly wiped his mouth, as if the anger from the shareholders’ meeting earlier hadn’t subsided.
“Yoon Yeo Jin. Do you know what you’ve done? Seo Jae Ha.”
Ji Han, who had approached me without realizing it, muttered so only I could hear and pointed at Jae Ha inside the car.
He grabbed my shoulder, his face stained with resentment and a sense of betrayal directed at me.
He had always felt inferior towards Jae Ha, who was born with everything.
“Ha… Seo Jae Ha. Not someone else, but Seo Jae Ha!”
Ji Han burst into a twisted, bitter laugh while speaking.
He added words while shooting me a glare full of rage.
“So, you want to divorce me and try something with my brother? Suddenly with the divorce, and the transfer of management rights! Why are you doing this?”
As I looked up at Ji Han without giving any answer, his grip on my shoulder tightened.
“Answer me! Why are you doing this?”
I silently looked at him and then let out a bitter laugh.
“You thought I didn’t know?”
“…What?”
Ji Han’s glare changed.
“Did you think I didn’t know that you were fooling around with Chae Seo Rin?”
“What… what are you talking about?”
I roughly pulled Ji Han’s hand off my shoulder.
Then, I took out the envelope full of documents from my bag and threw it at Ji Han.
With a thud, the envelope opened, and pictures scattered on the ground.
“You’ve been living a double life since before our wedding until now, Ji Han.”
“What?”
Ji Han picked up one of the countless photos with his face in it.
His eyes, looking down at the photo, changed from bewildered to cold.
“You… you’ve even investigated me behind my back?”
Ex-husband Wants Reconciliation
One-line summary: Chasing the wife to the crematorium (making an effort to attract someone who has become indifferent), the female lead doesn’t look back, the second male lead takes the position.
Intro:
To repay the kindness of the older generation, Su Mu crossed into a female-dominated world and became a live-in daughter-in-law of the Yan family, single-handedly saving the Yan family from fire and water.
But her husband, Yan Jiyue, the eldest son of the Yan family, treated her with sarcasm and never showed her a good face.
It wasn’t until after Su Mu’s death that this pampered and arrogant young master shed a few fake tears and pretended to want to die for love.
This life’s kindness was enough. If there was a next life, she would definitely kick Yan Jiyue away.
Who knew that the heavens would be so kind as to allow her to be reborn, returning to the time when she had just married into the Yan family.
Su Mu glanced at the Yan eldest son, who still spoke coldly to her, and threw a divorce letter in front of him.
“Let’s divorce!”
***
Yan Jiyue never imagined that he would be reborn. He happily went to find Su Mu, wanting to make up for the mistakes he had made in his ignorant youth.
Wasn’t the reason the heavens allowed him to be reborn to let him reconcile with Su Mu?
But when he pushed open the door to Su Mu’s room, the person lying on the bed was another man.
Su Mu’s personal attendant, Xie Yi.
Yan Jiyue hated him so much that his teeth itched. In front of Su Mu, Xie Yi was a gentle and considerate whisperer of sweet nothings, but in reality, he was vicious-hearted and deliberately sabotaged their husband and wife relationship.
In the previous life, it was he who secretly hid in Su Mu’s coffin and committed suicide, stealing a step ahead of him to be buried with Su Mu.
Yan Jiyue’s eyes were filled with hatred as he cursed, “What kind of thing are you? Your background is lowly, what right do you have to occupy Su Mu?”
Xie Yi looked at the sleeping Su Mu and no longer pretended to be a whisperer of sweet nothings.
He proudly stuck out his belly, “I have the right because my belly is capable of giving the Wife-master a daughter.”
***
Yan Jiyue was consumed with jealousy. He spread rumors that Xie Yi had once been branded with the mark of a “harlot” on his chest.
But on the night Xie Yi cut off the flesh bearing that mark, Su Mu suddenly realized something was amiss.
“How did you know the exact moment I was poisoned? And why did you show up a month early?”
Xie Yi remained silent, blood from his wound soaking through his robes. His sapphire eyes brimmed with anguish – or was it just a flawless act?
Between a once-arrogant husband now seeking redemption, and a gentle soul willing to die for her – who truly held the darkest secrets? And could it be that Su Mu and Yan Jiyue weren’t the only ones given a second chance at life…?
